Overview of this book

<p><span id="description" class="sugar_field">Reinforcement Learning is a type of machine learning that allows machines and software agents to act smart and automatically detect the ideal behavior within a specific environment, in order to maximize its performance and productivity. Reinforcement Learning is becoming popular because it not only serves as an way to study how machine and software agents learn to act, it is also been used as a tool for constructing autonomous systems that improve themselves with experience. This video will give you a brief introduction to Reinforcement Learning; it will help you navigate the "Grid world" to calculate likely successful outcomes using the popular MDPToolbox package. This video will show you how the Stimulus - Action - Reward algorithm works in Reinforcement Learning. By the end of this video you will have a basic understanding of the concept of reinforcement learning, you will have compiled your first Reinforcement Learning program, and will have mastered programming the environment for Reinforcement Learning.</span></p> <h2><span class="sugar_field">Style and Approach</span></h2> <p><span class="sugar_field"><span id="trade_selling_points_c" class="sugar_field">This video helps you to understand Reinforcement Learning by following simple instructions in step-by–step, easy-to-follow techniques and programs.</span></span></p>

R Example – Updating Optimal Policy Navigating 2 x 2 Grid
This video addresses the epsilon-greedy action selection strategy to update the optimal policy with a model-free solution to navigating a 2 x 2 grid. - Describe distinctions between exploration and exploitation action selection approaches - Describe the implementation of epsilon-greedy action selection strategy - Use another hands-on extended R example to update, or validate an optimal policy using an existing model
